  • The Supra Thermal & Energetic Particle Spectrometer (STEPS) instrument has begun measuring supra-thermal and energetic ions and electrons.
  • They measure the supra-thermal and energetic ions and electrons at distances greater than 50,000 km from Earth.
  • This distance is equivalent to more than eight times the Earth's radius.
  • This data helps scientists analyse the behaviour of particles surrounding Earth.
  • ISRO had launched Aditya-L1 on September 2 using a PSLV-C57 rocket.
